Frequently asked questions
What are the room hire fees and minimum spend requirements for private dining events?
Private dining rooms on level 38 have a room hire fee of £500 + VAT for single rooms and £2,500 + VAT for double rooms. Minimum spend requirements vary by time slot: £2,000 + VAT for afternoon packages (12:00-16:00), £2,500 + VAT for evening packages (18:30-23:00), and £4,500 + VAT for double room evening events. An optional 12.5% service charge applies to food and beverage items.
What is the maximum capacity for private dining events and how are rooms configured?
Single private dining rooms accommodate up to 18 guests with oval table setup, or maximum 2 round tables of 10 people each. Double private rooms can host up to 60 guests standing for networking and celebratory events. The rooms are situated on level 38 with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic London views.
What are the standard event timings and access arrangements?
Afternoon packages run 12:00-16:00 hours with organizer access from 11:30. Evening packages run 18:30-23:00 hours with organizer access from 18:00 (or 17:30 for larger events). Guests can arrive from the official start time onwards, and setup time is included in the access period.
How does the booking and payment process work?
Bookings operate on a first-come, first-served basis. A 100% deposit is required to confirm the booking, with the remaining balance due 3 months prior to the event. Payment can be made via bank transfer or credit card, with a surcharge applying to AMEX payments.
What catering options are available and how far in advance must orders be placed?
Three-course menus start from £75 + VAT per person (same starter, main, and dessert for whole party), working lunch at £40 + VAT per person, and various canapé options. All catering orders including special dietary requirements must be pre-ordered 10 working days prior to the event, with final numbers required 5 working days before the event date.
What audio-visual equipment is included and what are the costs for additional AV?
Built-in speakers are included around the rooms for background music connection. Additional AV requirements are provided by preferred supplier Prelude Entertainment (contact: 0208 660 6647). If bringing your own AV supplier, a supplement of £350 + VAT applies.
Are there restrictions on what types of events can be hosted?
The venue is described as excellent for corporate and networking events. However, certain event types cannot be accommodated - the venue has declined requests for children's events and pop-up retail concepts. The space is positioned as a high-end corporate venue rather than casual celebration space.
What are the policies on external suppliers and decorations?
Searcys is the exclusive catering company, but external caterers may be considered for dry hire arrangements at £18,000 + VAT with 4 hours kitchen access (2pm-10pm). Guests can enter rooms early for setup including banners, balloons, and flowers. All guest entry must be pre-booked and ID is required upon arrival.
How can I arrange a site visit and what information is needed to proceed with booking?
Site visits can be arranged by contacting the sales team directly. To proceed with booking, you'll need to provide: name and contact details of contract signatory, event name and date, billing address including company name, and preferred payment method (bank transfer or credit card).
What additional services and enhancements are available?
A mobile bar with private bartender is available for £500 + VAT. The venue offers seasonal menus and can accommodate up to 3 cocktails or mocktails per event (minimum pre-order of 10). Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice, and the venue uses seasonal ingredients from local communities.
